I stopped at around 60 hours with all side-quests completed, and an 88% total completion rate. There were still things to do but I don’t think there’s anything left in terms of story. Completing side quests first is a good idea. I didn’t think the game was particularly difficult on Normal, but you can’t get careless against the stronger opponents, and it helps being a few levels higher than required.

That armor arguably too good. Once you have that there’s no reason whatsoever to use the old ones.

Eliot-Ness:

There is an area south west of the map, which I have not explored yet. Are there no quests there ? Is it just an area for exploration and with one ruin ?

I do believe there are quests there, though I’m not entirely sure.

Minor spoiler:

The number of allies that join you in the final battle depends on the quests you’ve completed. There’s an achievement linked to it. You also get an opportunity to talk to everyone before the final battle. I wish they had done a bit more with this, as the characters are not developed as well as in games like Mass Effect 2.

I finished the game yesterday, and actually did all secondary quests before so I guess I had all possible allies.
Overall, I really liked this game. I will play the DLC for sure and the game is well prepared for sequels…
That red thing flying at the end, come on, it was a bit unrealistic…

Now I will probably collect all remaining collectibles, a few bandit camps, the hunting quests & tutorial quests (which I hate) & I guess it will be it until DLC. Don’t really understand the point in starting a new game+ as they call it. They give you body paint but that’s it ? Not going to re do the whole game again. I guess it may be interesting to do that again in a few years but not now.

Now I understand what I didn’t like when I first grabbed PS4+Horizon: the motion blur looked too artificial for me, but you get used to it.
Probably because I am a photographer and I have seen what they try to do with smartphones, they do digital blurring but that’s currently still noticeably different from you achieve with actual lenses. So this effect + the fact that the camera was quite close to the hero was a bit annoying to me but I got used to it…

I finished this DLC. It was a nice way to return to this special world.
There were quite a few quests and the main one was quite good. It’s designed as a side chapter, so the events still occur before the final battle in the main game so I guess we couldn’t have majore revelations anyway. I just wished we had more ‘revelations’ about the machines and the ‘past’ but I guess it will be for the next game.

A few shots I took, although I find this photo mode not as convenient as in ACO for instance:

Nice screenshots! I bought the DLC at launch but only just started the new quest. I’m not sure when I’ll get around to completing it to be honest, I still have Uncharted: Lost Odyssey to complete as well.
